North Carolina Flooded For Lithium & Quartz Plus Q&A
Watch on Rumble: https://rumble.com/v5h4c1d-north-carolina-flooded-for-lithium-and-quartz-plus-q-and-a.html
North Carolina has the richest deposits of Lithium and quartz crystals in the SPODUMENE BELT. Elon Musk secured the contract for the lithium and the quartz mine paperwork is pending. The locals were blocking their mining and potentially harming 500 billion worth of business. Albermarle Kings Mountain is the location of the world’s purest quartz crystals which are needed to make AI chips. Piedmont Lithium is waiting for state permits to mine in Gaston County near Cherryville. Gaston is under water right now.
The lithium industry has experienced a dramatic transformation since the 1960s, primarily driven by advancements in battery technology. Let's delve into its key milestones:
The Early Years (1960s-1970s)
The Rise of Lithium-Ion Batteries (1980s-1990s)
The Electric Vehicle Revolution (2000s-Present)

There have been corporate wars over lithium. The increasing demand for lithium, primarily driven by the electric vehicle revolution, has led to intense competition among companies vying for control of lithium resources and production capacity.
Here are some notable examples of corporate wars over lithium:
These corporate wars have contributed to the volatility of lithium prices and the overall competitive nature of the industry. As the demand for lithium continues to grow, we can expect to see further competition and potential conflicts among companies vying for a share of this valuable resource.
The Piedmont Lithium project in Gaston County, North Carolina, faced significant opposition from various communities and elected officials.
While the project was centered in Gaston County, concerns were raised by residents and officials from neighboring counties as well. Here are some of the key areas that expressed opposition:
It's important to note that the opposition to the project was not unanimous within these counties. There were also some supporters who believed that the mine could bring economic benefits to the region. Ultimately, the project faced significant challenges due to the strong opposition from various communities and environmental groups.
lithium mining can create large open pits. These pits are formed as miners excavate the rock or ore containing lithium. The size of these pits can vary significantly depending on the scale of the mining operation and the geological characteristics of the deposit.
Here are some examples of lithium mines with large open pits:
there have been some environmental concerns associated with the Greenbushes Mine in Australia.
One of the main issues is the impact on groundwater resources. The mine is located in a region with limited water resources, and there have been concerns about the potential for groundwater contamination from mining activities. To address this, the mine has implemented measures to monitor groundwater quality and manage water usage.
Additionally, the mine has faced criticism for its impact on the local environment. This includes concerns about habitat destruction, dust pollution, and the potential for acid mine drainage. The company has implemented environmental management plans to minimize these impacts, but they remain a subject of debate.
The Salar de Atacama, Chile, is a significant source of lithium and has faced various environmental concerns.
One of the primary issues is the impact on water resources. The salt flat is located in a high-altitude desert region with limited water availability. Lithium extraction can deplete groundwater resources and affect local ecosystems, including flamingos and other wildlife that rely on these water sources.
Another concern is the potential for soil and water contamination from mining activities. The use of chemicals in the extraction process can lead to the release of pollutants into the environment.
Additionally, there have been concerns about the impact on local communities that rely on the salt flat for their livelihoods. Mining operations can displace communities and affect traditional ways of life.
Despite these challenges, the Chilean government has implemented regulations to protect the environment and ensure that mining operations are carried out sustainably. However, the Salar de Atacama remains a delicate ecosystem, and balancing economic development with environmental protection continues to be a challenge.
The storm that hit was directed there using energy weapons. It’s so obvious because their rings were detected for all to see on satellite images. I saw them on Glam Ham via TikTok who monitors things like this. I heard all kinds of rumors that the elite or the white hats are trying to flood out the underground bunkers there. That’s not the simplest explanation.
Gaston County is 587 - 1,705 feet above sea level and mountainous. The last flood it had was in 1916.
https://arcadiumlithium.com Their stock altm just started trading Jan of this year at $7 and it’s now at $2.66. I am not investor, but I bet this company is going to be rich. Piedmont Lithium In May 2024, received the finalized mining permit for the construction, operation, and reclamation of Carolina Lithium following the posting of a $1 million reclamation bond to the state of North Carolina. The North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality’s Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources approved the permit application on April 12, 2024.
People are finding blue balls of sodium polyacrylate which is a substance used in gardens and diapers to absorb water. It has an impact on temperature to be used to cooling and deflecting, which is not biodegradable and doesn’t decompose. Droplet mixing using a piezoelectric transducer which is a type of acoustic transducer that coverts the electrical charges by some forms of solid materials into energy. Or electricity caused by pressure. These can be used in cloud seeding materials like silver iodide using ultrasonic devices. These sound waves introduces cloud formations and precipitation. This also uses materials like quartz to generate an electric charge through applied mechanical pressure.
These companies are huge. Why would they want world war three to start now that they just used to weather to push out the people on their site worth half a trillion?
